Apple's Boot Camp beta

Got a question...


Will Boot Camp run on my powerbook? Not to install windows, but to install ppc-linux. If not Boot Camp, than is there a simple program to repartition my HDD so that I can get a dualboot of os x and ppc-linux?

GNU parted can shrink HFS/HFS+ but I don't think it works on OS X. It works on FreeBSD though (which is supposed to be similar).

GNU/Linux distribution installers like Ubuntu's use parted, I think, to partition the drive, so when installing them they should be able to resize your HFS/HFS+ partition.

BTW what PPC distro are you gonna use? I've heard YellowDog[/ul] is good. I'd expect Debian, Ubuntu and Gentoo to also be good.

It won't happen if you keep saying that.

The Ubuntu PPC Distro is better than Yellowdog in my experience.

I'll have to read up on which ones support apple's airport wifi before i choose which one to install on here. I tried a 5.10 ppc-ubuntu live cd on this and the wireless didn't work, but i always have trouble with live cds and wireless connectivity
